Robellones, rebollones and níscalos are common Spanish names used for these mushrooms in different regions. Their role in cooking is closely associated with autumn and those comforting recipes we look forward to making again when the season for rice dishes, stews and hearty soups arrives.

These mushrooms grow in association with coniferous woodland, particularly pine forests. Their season depends on the area and on moisture and temperature conditions, so availability varies from year to year and is not constant throughout the season.

Enjoying fresh seasonal saffron milk caps is a way to showcase an ingredient that needs no elaborate preparation. Good olive oil, garlic and parsley can provide the starting point for a recipe that lets their own flavour shine.

To enjoy your saffron milk caps at their best, it is important to store them correctly and prepare them before cooking:

• Keep refrigerated: Place the trays in the fridge as soon as they arrive and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. They are a perishable product, so it is best to use them as soon as possible.
• Clean carefully: Remove any soil and plant debris with a soft brush or a clean, slightly damp cloth, paying attention to the cap, gills and stem.
• Avoid soaking: If water is needed to remove dirt, rinse them briefly under a gentle stream of running water, then pat them dry with kitchen paper.
• Preparation: Trim off the soil-covered base of the stem. You can cook them whole or cut into pieces, keeping the pieces similar in size to help them cook evenly.
• Always cook before eating: Fresh saffron milk caps are not ready to eat. Cook them thoroughly before consuming and do not serve them raw.

Saffron milk caps are ideal for everything from a simple starter to a flavour-packed main course. Here are some ideas for enjoying them at home:

• On the griddle: Add a little olive oil and cook them on both sides until thoroughly cooked. Finish with salt, garlic and parsley to taste.
• Sautéed with garlic: Cook them thoroughly in a frying pan with olive oil and garlic. Serve as a starter or a side dish.
• In rice dishes and risottos: Combine them with a base of sautéed onions, vegetables and a good stock to prepare a seasonal rice dish that puts the mushrooms centre stage.
• Stewed with potatoes: Add them to a stew with potatoes, onion, garlic and paprika. A comforting way to enjoy the flavours of autumn.
• In omelettes and scrambled eggs: Cook the saffron milk caps first, then add the eggs. You can finish the recipe with softened onions or aromatic herbs.
• In pasta, sauces and fillings: Use cooked saffron milk caps to accompany pasta, prepare a sauce or fill croquettes, empanadas and other homemade dishes.
